The Guide to Music Licensing in South Africa is a practical, easy-to-follow eBook course that teaches artists, producers, composers, and rights holders how songs legally earn money through licensing across TV, film, adverts, radio, streaming platforms, retail spaces, and online content.
You’ll learn the real difference between a composition and a master recording, the exact types of licenses used in the industry (sync, mechanical, performance, and master use), and how South African rights bodies like SAMRO, CAPASSO, SAMPRA, and RISA collect and distribute your royalties.
This guide also shows you how to prepare your music to be license-ready, how to pitch to music supervisors and sync agencies, how metadata (ISRC/ISWC) affects your income, and how to build a music catalogue that generates long-term passive revenue.
